Regulatory Defense

Stier Anderson represents organizational and individual clients in regulatory and self regulatory investigations and proceedings. Among the offices and agencies before which our attorneys have appeared are those of the United States Department of Justice, numerous state attorneys general and local prosecutors, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the Nuclear Regulatory Commisson and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Our attorneys’ extensive experience both as prosecutors and as defense counsel in business crime and regulatory matters enables us to approach engagements – whether they are contested proceedings or sensitive negotiations – with creativity and tenacity. Our expertise in organizational integrity issues helps us identify and present a full picture to a regulator, maximizing the chances that a client will not be unduly impacted by the negative aspects of a given set of events. We are ever mindful in these matters of a client’s broader – e.g., business and reputational - interests, and consult on a regular basis to ensure that these are protected.
